Happy Fourth of July, everyone! Two years ago today, the just-formed Potomac Chocolate tempered our first batch of chocolate in my kitchen, making a handful of bars, some tasting squares and yes, fish.

It’s been an amazing couple of years since, with many thousands of bars made, processes developed and changed, and equipment bought and built. From that humble beginning, through the still-pretty-humble today, a lot has changed, but my passion for making the best chocolate I can has stayed the same. So, in the next couple years, expect even better chocolate as I continue to learn and refine my process, as well as new bar origins (soon!).
